SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS INDUSTRY - DP03 Universe - Civilian employed population 16 Year and over Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Industry data describe the kind of business conducted by a person's employing organization. These data are derived from a combination of write-in and check box questions, which are autocoded and clerically coded by Census Bureau staff, using the Census Industry Code List developed for Census Bureau household surveys.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OCCUPATION - DP03 Universe - Civilian employed population 16 Year and over Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Occupation data describe the kind of work the person does on the job. These data are derived from responses to write-in questions that are autocoded and clerically coded by Census Bureau staff, using the Census Occupation Code List developed for Census Bureau household surveys.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES AND PEOPLE WHOSE INCOME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS IS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL - DP03 Universe - All families and All People Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Poverty statistics in American Community Survey (ACS) products adhere to the standards specified by the Office of Management and Budget in Statistical Policy Directive 14. The Census Bureau uses a set of dollar value thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. Further, poverty thresholds for people living alone or with nonrelatives (unrelated individuals) vary by age (under 65 Year or 65 Year and older). The poverty thresholds for two-person families also vary by the age of the householder. If a family’s total income is less than the dollar value of the appropriate threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. Similarly, if an unrelated individual’s total income is less than the appropriate threshold, then that individual is considered to be in poverty.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS EMPLOYMENT STATUS - DP03 Universe - Population 16 years and over Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 The series of questions on employment status was designed to identify, in this sequence: (1) people who worked at any time during the reference week; (2) people on temporary layoff who were available for work; (3) people who did not work during the reference week but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent (excluding layoff); (4) people who did not work during the reference week, but who were looking for work during the last four weeks and were available for work during the reference week; and (5) people not in the labor force.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE - DP03 Universe - Civilian noninstitutionalized population Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Health insurance coverage in the ACS and other Census Bureau surveys define coverage to include plans and programs that provide comprehensive health coverage. Plans that provide insurance only for specific conditions or situations such as cancer and long-term care policies are not considered comprehensive health coverage. Likewise, other types of insurance like dental, vision, life, and disability insurance are not considered comprehensive health insurance coverage.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS CLASS OF WORKER - DP03 Universe - Civilian employed population 16 years and Over Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Class of worker categorizes workers according to the type of ownership of the employing organization. This variable identifies whether the respondent is self-employed, works in the private sector, or in government. The class of worker category is, in most cases, independent of industry and occupation.

SELECTED ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS INCOME AND BENEFITS (IN 2021 2022 INFLATION-ADJUSTED DOLLARS) - DP03 Universe - Total households Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Total income is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; Social Security or Railroad Retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income.

People who used more than one means of transportation to get to work each day were asked to report the one used for the longest distance during the work trip. The category, “Car, truck, or van,” includes workers using a car (including company cars but excluding taxicabs), a truck of one ton capacity or less, or a van. The category, “Public transportation,” includes workers who used a bus, subway or elevated rail, long-distance train or commuter rail, light rail, streetcar, or trolley, or ferryboat, even if each mode is not shown separately in the tabulation. “Carro público” is included in the public transportation category in Puerto Rico. The category, “Other means,” includes workers who used a mode of travel that is not identified separately within the data distribution. The category, “Other means,” may vary from table to table, depending on the amount of detail shown in a particular distribution.
